About Tech Mahindra and Bank of Baroda
Tech Mahindra offers innovative and customer-centric digital experiences. The organization enables enterprises, associates, and society to rise for a more equal world, future readiness, and value creation. Tech Mahindra is a part of the Mahindra Group, which was founded in 1945. With annual revenue of $6.5 billion USD, it has more than 148,000 professionals across 90 countries helping over 1,250 global customers, including many Fortune 500 companies.
Tech Mahindra has remained a steadfast digital collaborator alongside Bank of Baroda, the largest public sector bank in India. Over the years, it has actively contributed to the enhancement of the bank’s customer engagement strategies and, in turn, the bank’s formidable rise in the financial services landscape.
Opportunity
With a mission to be a top-ranking National Bank of International Standards committed to augmenting stakeholders’ value through concern, care, and competence, Bank of Baroda sought a more in-depth understanding of factors impacting its operational efficiencies across both inbound and outbound calls. This included average handle time, transfers, channel deflections, and non-value-add calls. Critically, the bank wanted to understand the top reasons customers were calling and, from there, the analysis of the top reasons for customer dissatisfaction or negative sentiment. In addition, the bank wanted to identify ways to improve its outbound contact and sales conversion rates.
Bank of Baroda placed focus on automating its manual quality process. By transforming to an automated total quality process, the bank could not only evaluate 100 percent of recorded calls, but also free quality analysts’ time for more effective coaching and performance improvement initiatives based on a complete dataset versus a sample size.
In addition to its mission of being a top-ranked banking institution, Bank of Baroda aims to be seen as a new age bank. With this aim, it needed to elevate customer sentiment measured by Net Promoter Score (NPS). Further, it needed to drive adoption of more of its banking products while also finding a resolution for ghost or repeat calls.

Solution
Tech Mahindra collaborated with Bank of Baroda with a vision of establishing a digitally enabled contact center. Through a comprehensive analysis of daily customer calls, Bank of Baroda’s main objective was to enhance service by addressing operational hurdles such as less-than-optimal average handle time, transfers, channel deflections, and non-value-add calls.
To start, Tech Mahindra and Bank of Baroda focused on automating the bank’s manual quality process. Here, Tech Mahindra, in collaboration with Verint, introduced Verint Quality Bots and Verint Speech Analytics. Part of Verint Open Platform, the best-of-breed Verint solutions enable the evaluation, scoring, and analysis of 100 percent of customer calls. Automatically uncovering trends and areas of opportunity from the structured and unstructured call data, the solutions empower CX automation to elevate agent performance, accountability, operational efficiency, and customer experience.
Verint consultants worked closely with Tech Mahindra’s analytics and business teams throughout the project. Similarly, the Tech Mahindra teams engaged with Bank of Baroda’s tech-savvy and enthusiastic contact center staff. The result was the enablement of both parties to effectively harness insights from Verint Quality Bots and Verint Speech Analytics. This strong partnership and collaboration laid the groundwork for an analytics framework that was swiftly adapted and scaled to cater to the bank’s diverse customer base, encompassing multiple Indian languages.

In addition, compliance parameters were notably enhanced using Verint Speech Analytics. Overall, compliance tracking increased from 90 to 97 percent, helping mitigate potential complaints and escalations.
